Fire victims are discharged
Ticonderoga Country Club will rebuild By Lohr McKinstry STA FF W RITER
TICONDEROGA | The four people injured by an explosion and fire in the Emerald’s Restaurant kitchen that destroyed Ticonderoga Country Club have all been released from the hospital. They’ve been identified as restaurant owner/ chef Mark Wood, and workers Riley O’Hare and John West, who all suffered burns when a gas line exploded in the restaurant’s kitchen just after 10 p.m. on Saturday, May 19. The three were treated at University of Vermont Medical Center in Burlington. A fourth employee, Jose Proche, had a back injury he suffered when the explosion threw him against a wall. He was treated and discharged at University of Vermont Health Network, Elizabethtown Community Hospital at Moses-Ludington, in Ticonderoga. The cause of the explosion and fire is still under investigation by the Essex County Fire Investigation Unit and New York State Office of Fire Prevention and Control.
The Ticonderoga Country Club is just embers after a fire leveled the huge building. Although it was first believed a propane tank had exploded, it’s now believed to have been a pressurized flammable line in the kitchen. It took 17 fire departments and more than 100 firefighters to bring the flames under control six hours after the explosion. A post rehearsal dinner for the Stefanie Russell and James Hansel wedding the next day was underway at the restaurant at the
time, and Ticonderoga Fire Chief Matthew Watts said he found the building filled with flames upon arrival. The wedding and reception had been scheduled for the The Barn at Lord Howe Valley nearby, and went off as planned. About 50 people were still at the club for the wedding event and had evacuated by the time firefighters arrived. Watts said the event

had about 120 guests at its peak. The two-story building was insured, Judy Schultz, president of the club’s board, said. She said they plan to rebuild but don’t have a schedule. They’d like to be back in operation by 2019, she said. Insurance adjusters have been at the fire site, and the club’s board is waiting for a determination from the company. ■
